Cinna-Toffee Pumpkin Muffins



I've noticed in the blogosphere that Monday is the day to post muffins. I guess there's some cutesy alliteration in Muffin Monday that makes this such a popular posting topic. So, here's my contribution. It's officially fall, so naturally pumpkin was the obvious pick for these muffins. I didn't want to make your run of a mill pumpkin muffin though. I wanted them to be a little bit more filling so I used a combination of whole wheat flour and all purpose flour. You might think that this would make the muffins healthy, but seeing as I then threw in toffee bits and cinnamon chips, that's not quite the case. Chopped pecans add a nice little crunch to these perfectly spiced and sweet muffins.

Peanut Butter Toffee Ice Cream Sandwiches



Yesterday I sat at my desk in a moment of panic thinking, "ugh, I need to bake tonight, what can I make?" Wednesdays mean two hours at the gym after work and baking would require a trip to the grocery store. I knew I wouldn't make it home before 8:30 so I wanted something quick and simple. Ding Ding! In pops my daily e-mail from Martha. Stewart that is, and yes we're on a first name basis. Every day she sends me cookie recipes and I like to believe the recipes are sent to me, and me alone. Yesterday's cookie of the day was Peanut Butter Toffee Cookies...she had me at peanut butter. A relatively short list of ingredients? Sold.
